Ingredients
- 1 cup rice flour, fine variety
- 3 teaspoons semolina (suji or rava)
- 1 cup curd, avoid using sour type
- Salt, as needed
- 1-2 teaspoons oil, or as needed
- 1 cup water, or as needed
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl or vessel, add the rice flour.
- Add the semolina or suji (cream of wheat, I used a fine variety here).
- Add the curd as well as the salt to taste.
- Mix carefully without forming lumps (you can use a whisk to avoid forming lumps).
- Add water little by little to prepare batter (batter should not be watery).
- Heat a dosa tawa (skillet). Smear 1/2 teaspoon of oil and pour the prepared batter over the tawa. Don't rotate batter in a circular motion, as you would for other dosas. Just pour the batter and spread gently.
- Cover the tawa with a lid and allow the dosa to cook on medium flame.
- Once it cooked completely, flip the dosa and cook the other side, too.
- Serve hot with chutney or sambar of your choice.

Heat a dosa tawa very well. Smear 1/2 teaspoon of oil and pour the prepared batter over the hot tawa. Do not spread the batter too much. Just pour the batter and spread a little. You don't need to get a perfect circle.

Cover and cook on medium flame. Once cooked completely, flip the dosa to cook the side. (You can see how it is a light golden brown). Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Notes
- For best results, use a fine variety of rice flour.
- If you don't like plain dosa, you can mix in finely chopped onion, green chilies and coriander leaves to the batter or on top of dosa. It enhances the taste, too.
- Before pouring each batch of batter into the pan, be sure to mix the batter well. Sometimes you may need to add more water to maintain a pouring consistency.
- Don't omit the semolina, as this is what makes the dosa crispy.
- When pouring, don't overlap the batter. This will make the dosa too thick and it won't taste good. Try to make thin dosas.
- If you have difficulty in spreading dosas, add a bit more water, mix properly and try again.
